In the past, every product BFL has announced, they have delivered. It takes near forever, but they have delivered. What historical evidence do you present that proves that they are in the habit of making up fake devices just to make money? AKA: stfu.

The original Butterfly Labs Single was supposed to cost $500, run at 1.05 GH/s and consume 19W. In the end it cost 20% more ($600), ran ~20% slower (800-something MH/s) and consumed ~300% more power (~80W). They had _no_product_whatsoever_ when they gave the initial figures and had based them off simulations only. The device did not exist when people placed their pre-orders and what they eventually got was far from the advertised product — they got a different product under the same name. So yes, they made up a fake device to make money.


As for the last page — impressive to see just two individual users making up about almost 0.5% of the total network hashrate, also without taking much space.
